Machinery, technical design and AI-assisted development.
I work on technical preparation, machining and mechanical assembly at Dereli Plast. I bring that manufacturing practice to Forward Deployed AI & Automation: working closely with the people doing the job, from problem definition through integration and verification.

Selected Work
Design and software projects, with their scope, my contribution and current stage.
VORMETRA
My work connecting manufacturing experience with AI-assisted system design and software for large-format pellet-fed 3D printing.
G1000 is in development as a pellet-fed (FGF) large-format industrial 3D printer; approximately 1 m³ build volume and approximately 5 kg/hour throughput are design targets.
VORMETRA Slice is an open-source project based on OrcaSlicer, with work on machine profiles and a programmatic control layer. Source and test records are linked in the open-source section; a digital slicing record does not establish a physical print test.
